Maddy's Wings Kindle Edition

by Jan Porter (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

‘A well-plotted and highly-emotional historical novel. A FINALST and highly recommended.’ The Wishing Shelf Book Awards UK 2018

“It was difficult to tell what was lightning, air fire or ground fire. It seemed we were trying to navigate a sky filled with fireworks within the middle of a storm. The plane shuddered, losing altitude in a dive that was too steep and too fast. Concerned that the stalling engine’s fire and tail rip may ignite the load of ammunition within, I instinctively banked, aiming offshore to the water below."

Maddy survived and now she wants to know why. Racked with survivor’s guilt and beginning to suffer from Alzheimer’s in her old age, 92-year-old Maddy has a painful recollection stuck on repeat – the moment she crashed a loaded B26 bomber during her role as an Air Auxiliary Pilot in World War II. Maddy’s relives poignant memories; growing up during the Great Depression, war traumas, the death of her daughter and unborn grandchild, and yet it is the plane crash that she cannot get out of her head. As Maddy’s memories fade and life draws to a close, she seeks to live her last moments to the fullest. From intriguing new neighbours to a pet pig and giggle brownies, humour and heartbreak abounds as she struggles to shake off the survivor’s guilt that has haunted her for so long. Maddy’s free-spirited adventures are thwarted by a ruthless elder care worker, who is making her life a misery. Strange events unfold – the decades old cold case of a murdered local Pastor surfaces, and shocking truths come to light about little sister Rosie’s life during and after the war.

What really caused that fateful plane crash? Why did Maddy survive while others lost their lives? What really happened to her little sister Rosie during the war? As she faces the final challenges of life to set herself free from the shackles of culpability, Maddy may just redefine what it means to be a hero.

About the Author

Award-winning author and philosophical muse Jan Porter brings indigenous cultures, spiritual phenomena and unsung heroes to life in her notable collection of prize winning books. A connoisseur of literary fiction with a strong female lead and universal self-help books, Jan not only seeks to move and entertain with her humorous and heartfelt novels, but also to advise her worldwide audience as they look to her for counsel on angels, spiritual fulfillment and life after abuse. Born in rural Ontario, Canada, contemporary women's fiction author and self-help guru Jan grew up in the great outdoors, where she was captivated by the otherworldly allure of indigenous cultures, mysticism and tales of northern wilderness. She discovered her destiny to become an author during her teenage years when she came across old copies of Voltaire's Candide, Margaret Caven's I Heard the Owl Call My Name and the works of William Shakespeare. All masterpieces in their own right, the worn covers and tattered pages of these books, plays and novellas unearthed a passion for writing, and inspired Jan to transform her thoughts into words. Handwritten scribbles became typewritten short stories, articles and poetry, but it was only after a long career in Human Services that Jan decided to shine the spotlight on her writing and bring her female protagonists to life. After completing a Spiritualist / Metaphysical Minister's degree, she cocooned herself in a northern Ontario lakeside sanctuary, where she penned books with strong female heroines and self counsel course materials that had long been in various stages of completion. Little did she know that one day her work would win various book awards! With each new release, Jan continues to share the wisdom of unsung heroes and explore the human condition in literature. As a philosophical muse of human nature, quantum physics and the spirit world, Jan's popular fiction novels and self-help books are profound, moving, and inspiring, and often humorous and entertaining to boot. Awards: -Two-time winner of the Bookworks Book of the Week Award -Reader's Favorite Award for 'Soul Skin, Woman, have you had enough?' and 'Angel Guides, love communication' Literary fiction novels and novellas -Soul Skin, Woman, have you had enough? -Peaceful Warrior Woman -Izzy's Ghosts - in progress -Barefoot Annie - in progress Website: www.janporter.ca YouTube channel: https: //www.youtube.com/user/inspiredsoulworks

Happy to recommend.

As a historical fiction novel Maddy's Wings works really well with plenty of period detail that brings the years back to life. But it is the intrigue that drives this story and it's this that had me eager to turn the next page. Underpinned by a multi layered plot, and populated with some truly wonderful characters characters the author has a way of bringing her scenes to life which makes them easy to visualise. Very much enjoyed and happy to recommend.
